Honestly, I don't think Jackson would hate that the Ranch would become a help for kids in need. While I think Jackson was strange, weird and very possibly a pedophile, I doubt that he'd dislike the ranch becoming a place for kids to get better again.

Maybe you'll stay apparently very bad at understanding the concept of contextually parsing things beyond their face value. But it never hurts to try!

Hyperbole much? yes. You do.

They are. To the tune of $91 Billion. http://www.vg247.com/2009/06/23/glo…

The only thing this all says is that Jez is getting even more desperate to keep gamergate in the news since it gives them such a blank check to energize the base and get those pageclicks.

Their basic lack of mental health coupled with social anxieties and depression is what draws them to be a part of an "outcast" movement.

Yeah, let us handwring over violence against women in video games when literally 80% of games ever made consist of gunning down wave after wave of men.

Nope, The Repopulation is an indie sandbox by the small-team Above & Beyond Technologies. http://www.therepopulation.com

SoE already sunsetted their non-native cash-shopped games earlier this year. PS2, DCUO are already on console and H1Z1 comes from the guts of PS2, so that's a likely outcome on consoles.

The effect on EQN might be world-shattering for the MMO industry. I hear a lot of lost hope.

It seems more interesting as it immediately suggests that actual effects will be used and the superpowers won't be shied away from. That was one of the biggest downfalls of the original Heroes where it was 98% soap opera and 2% superhero.

It isn't true. Because unless you come to them with a clear-cut crime they'll ignore it. bad for numbers.

Yep. Give them a crime.

It certainly works for Anits Sarkeesian.

I could name a ton of "utter garbage" MMOs with horrific cash shops. Grindy, p2w crap churned out the door. Look at Nexus' stable, Runes of Magic or ABP.

The Secret World is quite similar. Buy-to-play base game with hours of content bolstered by DLC continuations of the story and new areas. Very consumer-friendly Cash Shop strategy focusing on cosmetics. Optional sub with some nice benefits and cash for the cash-shop gods.

Not at all. TOR decimated the free experience by taking away a great deal from players.

~120 minutes is continuing to prove an arbitrarily limiting length of time to tell a proper story.

Zero critical reflection. Zero concept that there is anything at play here other than a broad-stroke, emotional-personal response.

Why are you arguing against having some sort of grave reaction to mutilation? What does anything have to do with this aside from the fact that this man was mutilated?
